mantine-datatable VS daisyui

Hey, I'm the author of Mantine DataTable, one of the most popular data table components built for the awesome Mantine UI library.

May I introduce: Mantine Datatable

If you find this tool useful, please 🙏star the repo spread the word, and consider ❤️ sponsoring my work. I'm the author and maintainer of several open-source projects such as Mantine DataTable and tRPC-SvelteKit, and your support will help me keep them up-to-date and bug-free. I might also be available for hire. If you need help with your project, feel free to contact me at the email address listed on my GitHub profile.

Disclaimer: I may be a bit biased. I'm the author of a number of open-source projects in React - some of them front-end related, such as Mantine DataTable, but I've also built tRPC-SvelteKit... because I f*cking loved Svelte from the moment I first discovered it!

Mantine DataTable is certainly not the single option in terms of data table / data grid functionality, and far from me to claim it's the best one out there. "The best" is always a subjective notion and it naturally depends on one's specific needs and preferences. Others offer features such as virtualization, better filtering support perhaps, etc., while mine comes with a few features that I considered to be important, such as:

Also, if you find the project useful, it would help a lot if you could star the GitHub repository, spread the word or hire my services to build front-end/full-stack stuff.

A "dark-theme aware" table component for your Mantine UI data-rich applications, featuring asynchronous data loading support, pagination, multiple rows selection, column sorting, custom cell data rendering, row context menu, and more.

DaisyUI offers zero-JS components

I used it for a small form + search result list recently and it works well enough for simple / static stuff.

But I think I'll still be reaching for a JS lib first since I'd miss things like inputs-with-autocomplete too much.

Tailwind is great, but creating everything from scratch is annoying. A nice base of components which can be extended with tailwind would be great. There are a few tailwind frameworks like Flowbite, Daisy Ui, but I like Bulma, PicoCSS and Bootstrap.

While I have experience with Tailwind and frontend development, I don’t really have the patience to use it. I usually end up using something like Mantine, which is a complete component library UI kit, or Daisy UI, which is a component library built on top of Tailwind. Shadcn/ui is quite similar to Daisy in this sense, but being able to customize the individual components, since they get installed to your components folder, made development more streamlined and more customizable. On top of that being able to change my components style with natural language thanks to v0 made development super easy and fast. Shadcn may be too minimalist of a style for some, but thanks to all the components being local, you can customize them quickly and easily!

https://daisyui.com is a really great middle ground—you can move as fast as you would in Bulma, then drop down into the weeds with TW if you need it.

If you're looking for grab and go components, Daisy UI or Flowbite might be more your speed, I've used both with minimal headache.
